Medicare's Open Enrollment Period is here. It's time to compare plans and see what coverage fits best for you. If you have any questions or need assistance please call us at Beneficial Insurance Agency at 504-277-8000 https://www.beneficialinsuranceagency.com/

Medicare's Open Enrollment Period is here! Visit Medicare.gov/plan-compare now through December 7 to compare all your coverage options.

It's important to compare plans every year
Even if you're happy with your current plan, plans can change year to year. Compare plans in your area, and make sure your prescription drugs are still covered. You can also check the star ratings to compare the quality of different health and drug plans.

Compare Plans

Best way to shop during Open Enrollment

Log in at Medicare.gov/plan-compare (or create an account if you don't have one already). Then you'll be able to:

Check if your plan is making any changes for next year.

Add your prescriptions and pharmacies to better compare drug plans.

Check if your providers are in-network with the plans you're considering.

Compare your current plan to other options in your area. Check the estimated "Total Drug & Premium Cost." A plan with the lowest monthly premium might not always offer you the lowest total cost.

TROPICAL STORM & HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

Helpful Hints From Beneficial Insurance Agency

The best time to prepare is BEFORE the storm is approaching.
A few simple steps today can help protect your family, your property, and your peace of mind.

🏠 BEFORE THE STORM

☐ Review Your Insurance Coverage
Know what your homeowners, auto, and flood policies cover. Pay special attention to your "hurricane/named-storm deductible" and potential "out-of-pocket expenses."

☐ Remember Flood Insurance
Standard homeowners insurance generally does "not" cover flood damage. If you have questions about flood coverage, contact our office.

☐ Document Your Property
Take photos or video of your home, belongings, appliances, electronics, jewelry, and other valuables. Store copies somewhere safe.

☐ Protect Your Home
Check your roof, gutters, windows, doors, and drainage areas. Clear leaves and debris from gutters and drains.

☐ Secure Outdoor Items
Bring inside or securely store patio furniture, grills, plants, decorations, toys, and other loose items.

☐ Prepare an Emergency Kit
Have water, nonperishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, first-aid supplies, chargers, important documents, and pet supplies ready.

☐ Keep Insurance Information Accessible
Save your agent's contact information, insurance company claims number, policy numbers, and copies of your policies.

🚨 WHEN A STORM IS APPROACHING

Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

* Monitor official weather and emergency alerts.
* Know your evacuation route and destination.
* Fuel your vehicle and charge phones and power banks.
* Move vehicles to a safe location when possible.
* Secure or bring inside remaining outdoor items.
* Follow evacuation orders from local authorities.
* Don't wait until the last minute to evacuate.

📸 AFTER THE STORM

SAFETY FIRST, THEN DOCUMENT.

If your property has been damaged

1. "Take photos and videos" of the damage "before cleanup", if it is safe to do so.
2. "Contact your insurance company or agent" as soon as possible to report the claim.
3. Take reasonable steps to "prevent additional damage" when it is safe.
4. "Keep receipts" for emergency repairs, temporary housing, and other eligible expenses.
5. Keep damaged property when practical until your insurer provides guidance.
6. Be cautious of "unsolicited contractors" and anyone demanding large upfront payments.

📞 WE'RE HERE TO HELP

🏡 TIP THURSDAY: Has Your Home Changed? Your Insurance May Need to Change, Too.

Your home may be worth more than it was when you first purchased your policy—and improvements can change your insurance needs, too.

Renovated the kitchen? Added a room? Replaced the roof? Made major upgrades? Even changing construction costs can affect what it would take to repair or rebuild your home after a covered loss.

That’s why it’s a good idea to review your homeowners coverage periodically.

📋 Don’t wait until you have a claim to discover a potential gap in coverage.

Give Beneficial Insurance Agency a call and let us review your policy with you.

🚨 MEDICARE ALERT — BIG CHANGES ARE COMING FOR 2027! 🚨

There will be significant Medicare plan changes and some plan terminations for 2027, including changes that may affect people in **St. Tammany Parish**.

If your Medicare Advantage plan is being terminated or leaving your area, you may have a special Guaranteed Issue Right that allows you to return to Original Medicare and purchase certain Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans without medical underwriting.

That can be an important opportunity, because outside of certain guaranteed-issue situations, you may be subject to medical underwriting when applying for a Medicare Supplement plan.

📅 2027 plan information becomes available October 1.

If you receive a notice that your current plan is ending or changing, don’t ignore it! Keep the notice and give us a call. We can help you understand your options for 2027.
